AFB1 — Zea mays
Summary
ZmAFB1 (ZM00001EB255540) on maize chromosome 5 encodes a protein with auxin receptor activity, NEDD8 transferase activity, and auxin binding, and is a component of the SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. The gene is associated with auxin signalling, seed development, and regulation of seed size. It has been linked to numerous agronomic traits including seed yield, biomass yield, vegetative growth time, herbicide sensitivity, phototropism, root hair length, and floral organ number. Phenotypic associations include effects on root development, auxin sensitivity, plant height, fertility, and inflorescence architecture. Related genes in other species link the family to grain yield, grain size, leaf blast disease response, and drought tolerance.
